Reddit Jmod Post:

"The Crypt will have instances for the first month until May 10th (similar to the Abyssal Asylum)"

Game Update news post:

"Please note that until May 10th the location of Phantoms/Ghosts will be instanced, to alleviate the initial rush of players fighting in the same area."

and soooo......

I complete the mini quest, build the guard house to tier 3, get all armoured up to go killing and complete the slayer codex and head to the Crypt.

I enter to find each chamber with 2 to 3 people with coils set up and not one open npc!!!

MASSIVE FAIL JAGEX!!!

Lies lies lies again......

Where on Gielinor since 2001 has Jagex said instances can't have 2 or 3 people?


Maybe you should read a little before you make snide remarks

Quote from Runescape Wiki the official Runescape guide:

"An instance is a special area, typically a quest area, that generates a new copy of the location for each player or group that enters the area. Players cannot see other players in instanced areas unless it is a group instanced area - in which case the group cannot see any other groups.

Instanced areas can take place in entirely new areas that cannot be accessed without the instance or in areas that are normally not instanced. Most non-quest boss instances will require the player to pay a specific sum of money or have an item in their inventory to access the instance. "

Thats since when

You are just in a group with the 2 other people.

The biggest problem is that less than 6 players are using the instances, so you keep getting sent back to the ones you don't want to be in.

You don't want to be in an instance with only 2 people? You want more like 6 people?

They are likely using the simplest load balancing grouping mechanism. When you keep getting sent back to the ones you were in, they were likely the ones with the lightest load. It is like the algorithm which sends us to to certain worlds at login time.

No, there are 4 people using the entire cave. 2 more keep wandering in and leaving. I'm guessing most of the active instances are like that.

Even if more instances are made, they would continue this same pattern.

Unsurprising at all to see lots of players when good new content comes out in RS3, especially when there are new loot worth hundreds of million gp each.

They didn't lie though.

It is instanced... just with a cap of six players. It is completely moronic, but they didn't lie.

They did lie as what you describe is an "Instanced Shard World"

As defined on Runescape Wiki:

Instance shard world
(Redirected from Instanced Shard World)

Not to be confused with instance.

An instance shard world is a world (or server) sharded off from the rest of the servers. A player cannot access an instanced shard world except through specific means such as activating a trigger or teleporting to said location.

An instanced encounter is defined as I previously posted

An instance is a special area, typically a quest area, that generates a new copy of the location for each player or group that enters the area.

"FOR EACH PLAYER"

Not 6, not 4, not 2, EACH PLAYER

Unless it is a Group instance, which they DID NOT STATE; it is generated for EACH PLAYER.

OR IT IS NOT AN INSTANCE, it is an instance shard WHICH THEY DID NOT state.

I am not splitting hairs, I'm just going by THEIR approved definition of the word.

Dont say its an apple if its an orange.
